Not that you needed another excuse to drink wine, but just in case, here's one: geographical research.

SoVino Wine Bar and Bistro, a new spot on lower Westheimer, pairs wines from below the equator with a full menu of New American cuisine. A large split-level space filled with ivory leather banquettes, mesquite wood tables and a sprawling white bartop, SoVino is warm with a relaxed, lounge-like feel. You might be surprised how quickly time passes there, and how many times you'll say, "OK, just one more glass."

Whether you view wine as a passion or a way to pass the time, SoVino offers your palate the chance to travel to places more exotic. All in the name of research, of course.
